I don’t remember voting for the building trades union to represent me.

It is my opinion that Gov. Rick Snyder should pay more attention to the truckers damaging our roads than worrying about the revenue that will be generated by a new bridge when truckers have to pay tolls to go across to Canada. The truckers are damaging these roads so severely that they are constantly being repaired.

Don’t mess with the Constitution. Vote “no: on all proposed amendments.

I would like to know who is paying for the gifts students are receiving to show up at school on count day. It had better not be the taxpayers’ because the state is giving welfare recipients money to buy that stuff. I am tired of people getting something for nothing and then their children don’t show up in class later on. Quit coddling welfare recipients and messing with our tax dollars.

Middle-class and upper-class people who want a stronger economy and want to keep more of their money should vote for Mitt Romney.

— Macomb Township

The Obama campaign keeps saying that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to return us to the same old policies that got us in this mess in the first place. That is totally false, in terms of what they want to do and the fact that any policy that was in place in 2008 is responsible for this economy. The policies and behavior of the administration over the last four years haven’t worked here, and they haven’t worked in other countries.

I want to know why Carlita Kilpatrick is not being charged. It is obvious she had her hands in the pot. She is still living high on the hog in Texas on money that Kwame Kilpatrick has stashed away. They have been living on it for the last three or four years. She should be investigated.

Stars and Stripes moving to Freedom Hill is another political ploy. It means more support the politicians and the rich businessmen instead of supporting the middle-class businesspeople in the city of Mount Clemens. I won’t be going to Freedom Hill.

Robin Hood is President Obama’s greatest adviser, but I see that he must be teaming up with Pinocchio from what he says about his plans.

If Mayor James Fouts wants to blame someone for all the rats in Warren and other cities, he should put the blame where it belongs, and that is the city of Detroit. With all the garbage and people burning houses down in Detroit, the rats are coming across Eight Mile Road. Don’t use our tax dollars to get rid of them. I am a citizen and a taxpayer and I approve this message.

— Warren

Twenty-five years ago we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope. Now we have President Obama, no cash and no hope.

Don’t you realize we are Republicans? We don’t need to go by the rules. We make up our rules as we go along.

Mitt Romney would make a good used car salesman. He can also pull 12 million jobs out of a hat.

Congratulations to Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers on winning the Triple Crown for the first time in 45 years, a feat that is very hard to do with specialized pitching. We may never see another Triple Crown winner again, unless Cabrera can do it again during his prime. Kudos go to Cabrera.
